2. ....Your reaction time will not affect your overall time for the quarter mile. The clock doesn't start until your tires break the beam.
If anyone has any other questions let me know, I am happy to help. BTW....my fastest time in my stock Z was a 15.03. You will be unlikely to repeat that right now unless the weather is perfect. The density altitude that night was just about 5900' which is just a bit higher then the actual Bandimere altitude. That doesn't happen much, almost perfect air...... for up here.

I will post up the video as soon as I get them done. Taking longer then I thought it would. Sean there was one of your runs on the camera. Until then I will post my time slips. I don't think I did too bad for my first time out. 
Sean, I like the shots you took of me waiting in the pits.

Those time slips show me what eating all these chili cheese dogs and drinking beer do to me...................slow me down.
You guys should have raced each other, that would have been good.

Hay guys,
As you guys saw, my #s wasn't good I wasn't satisfied, because before i have a tuned ECU i got 15.3 and there was no tread on my rear tires. Now I have everything good, but still couldn't get the numbers I wanted.
